Keto Breakfast Muffins are a great breakfast option to make ahead!
Keto Breakfast Muffins are a great breakfast option to make ahead!My readers and my patients seem to be always hungry for new easy and convenient breakfast options.
Especially when you have a family, a job, life gets busy and it is not always easy to make the best choices first thing in the morning.
I love breakfast ideas that can be made ahead and can be even conveniently packed with you or stuffed in a lunch box.
I always prefer a savory breakfast, full of good fats and protein, so it will help you stabilize your blood sugars for the day and cut cravings!
You can serve them with your favorite guacamole, with plain avocado or with
Ready made Machaca: A great Keto Paleo ingredient!
I was recently approached by The People’s Choice Beef Jerky company, which is located close to me in Los Angels.
They sent me some of their products to sample and I was really impressed by the quality of their ingredients!
One of the samples made me really happy: the shredded beef jerky Machaca!
It has all the right ingredients: Â Beef, water, salt, spices, garlic. That’s it!
It also contains 16grams of protein per serving, and only 1 gram of carbs! What a perfect ingredient for our keto paleo lifestyle!
You can add it to scrambled eggs, to a stir fry, and makes a great addition for these breakfast muffins.
Another great low carb option from The People’s Choice is the Old Fashioned Beef Jerky – with 15gr of protein, 2.5gr of fat and only 1gr of carbs per serving!

Thanks Vivica! Recipe looks amazing! What a creative way to use the Machaca.
I am so glad you liked it Brian!! Will think of more recipes, I love the Machaca jerky!!!
Love the flavours going on here and this would be perfect for breakfast!
oh wow, definitely getting creative to the extreme here. i have been on a mexican kick for a while. cooking out of a rick bayless cookbook. he has got a couple of recipes in there using shredded beef jerky- this looks like the perfect ingredient that i need!
I wish you had total carbs. As a Keto person I prefer total. 20/day.
You are very welcome to add the fiber and the net carbs yourself to find the whole macros…or you can calculate them on My Fitness Pal with your own exact ingredients. My macros are just a general reference point, no macros will be exact unless you input the ingredients YOU used! 🙂
Oh that’s true! Thank you. 🙂
You are very welcome, thank you for trying my recipe 🙂
Hi Vivica,
I am french, unfortunately in France, we don’t have so many topics about keto diet. (How I should say: it is not our cup of tea)
I leave in a south of France and to be honest people prefer ”mediterranean diet”, in short, it is more natural!!
Since a few days I try to find some tips and recipies . (thanks to my english :-))
I would like to start a keto diet in a couple of weeks. but it is difficult to find something to help me like meal plan and macro …….
I came accross your blog and I realized that is very important to have macro with recipe, especialy when you are beginner.
so thank you for your work and I hope I could look up and take some ideas to help me in my adventure.
TAKE CARE
MARILYNE a new fan
